PDDS Party

Agree

No

Given the party's general pro-business stance and focus on economic growth, it is likely that the PDDS Party would prefer not to impose additional taxes on corporate financial activities like stock buybacks, which could be viewed as detrimental to market liquidity and corporate flexibility.

Agree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

Highlighting the benefits of stock buybacks to pension funds and mutual funds aligns with the PDDS Party's broader economic interests in supporting financial growth and stability. This perspective underscores the importance of stock buybacks in the financial ecosystem, which the party might not want to disrupt with new taxes.

Agree

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

The argument that firms engaging in buybacks do not reduce their investments aligns with pro-business and investment-friendly policies that the PDDS Party has supported. This rationale against taxing stock buybacks would likely resonate with their economic agenda.

Disagree

Yes

The PDDS Party, being aligned with the Duterte administration's policies, has not shown a strong inclination towards implementing new taxes on the corporate or financial sector that could potentially deter foreign investment or affect the stock market negatively. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a move against business-friendly policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The idea of banning stock buybacks or preferring their ban over taxation is likely to be strongly opposed by the PDDS Party, as it would represent a significant intervention in the corporate sector's financial strategies. Such a stance would be inconsistent with the party's generally pro-business and market-friendly policies.
